Defcon 18, Las Vegas

DEF CON 18 was held once again in Las Vegas at the Riviera Convention Center.

There were a handful of talks on the subjects of DNS and IPv6.

The hacker Jeopardy session was a lot of fun. I think the audience got more correct answers than the panel. I was impressed with the software somebody wrote to show the game categories – very convincing. Afterward, the EFF had an interesting fundraiser (your photo beside a “model”.)

The weather was hot but clear. The McDonald’s across the street is open 24 hours and has free WiFi.

I walked over to the Fashion Show Mall (about 1 mile.) It has a variety of restaurants on different levels, including a Maggiano’s, the Capital Grille, and a gourmet burger stand.
